I was looking for one on the cheaper side, around 100, don't have a lot of cash right now. I was just wondering if you guys could help me pick one out. I didn't know how to measure my bike tires, but I looked on the back tire and it said 26x1.95, don't know if this is any help. Cycling isn't something I do for a hobby, do it to keep in shape, so that is why I don't want to spend a lot. Thanks for taking the time to read this and help me. :) ]]> Cycling Equipment Benny199 http://www.cyclingforums.com/cycling-equipment/471917-bicycle-trainer.html TREK frames http://www.cyclingforums.com/cycling-equipment/471916-trek-frames.html Fri, 20 Nov 2009 15:47:54 GMT I have a 85 Trek Elance 400 and yesterday I saw an ad for a road bike in my small town paper for $25. I called the guy and asked about it. The old man told me he found the bike in the trash. I asked him if there was a name on the bike....he said "I think it says trek on it, you need some kind of different contraption to pump up the tires because the valve is too small for my pump". Well needless to say I came home yesterday with a 1980 Trek for $25. complete bike! The 531 frame is in almost perfect condition with one scratch 3mm long. Just the tires, tubes and brake hoods need replacing.
My question is: Many people hold these early Trek frames(Trek decal on the seat tube) in high regard, Is there a difference between the 80 531 frame and my 85 531 frame?

Checked out a local steed and both the 11 tooth and 12 tooth cogs on the cassette have one tooth that is 'bent' outboard...don't know if this resulted from a previous incident or is by design. Can anybody attach a photo of their cassette with a photo of the tooth that is bent 'outboard' to the greatest degree or give me a heads-up that one tooth on each cog should be canted outboard?

Looking to cycle to work 22 miles round trip. Done it a couple of times on my MTB but quite tough going esp. due to hills. Thinking a racing road bike might solve my problems. Will cycle 3 days out of 5 on average, with maybe another 30 to 60 miles at w/e.

Me: 6ft 3in 15st.

Considering:


but know nothing about bikes. Lets face it could spend £200 on a bike the same weight as my link. Any advise on a bike to suit i.e frame size, do i need to spend a lot. Picked up some light bikes in my local shop but they are £1700. Does it really make a diffference when i am 15st? Anyway any pointers or reconmendations gladly received.

Thanks,

I have a full carbon and my partner a composite...had varying opinions from retailers to date....some say definately don't use a towbar mounted rack, put them on the roof, others have said it's not true today with the new straps etc on some of the better tow bar racks.

I'm new to this, so posting first message.
I'm looking for advice on the best possible cycling shoe to meet my requirements and wonder if anyone has any recommendations.
The shoe must have a leather/textile upper, have a textile or goretex lining, a thermoplastic sole and have a waterproof outer.
Any recommendations would be much appreciated.

Thanks

I've looked at the pyramid north roads and all the Nitto's, I know the grips and levers will fit on the Nitto's but I dont want to spend the extra $50 if the pyramid work just as well.
